Abstract: This experiment was done to find out what effects, if any, a beaver dam had on the flow of the water between the two lakes. To research this problem, samples were taken on each side of the dam and in the middle of the two adjoining lakes. With the beaver dam, phosphorous, chloride, and silicon decreased, calcium remained constant, and ammonia and nitrates increased in concentration when passing through the dam. Therefore, the dam effected different ions in different ways, depending on the properties of the ion in question.
